Zoe

Comparison of the voice actors who have been the voice of Zoe with sound clips and images.

Zoe is a fuzzy orange monster who's a prominent face on Sesame Street. A playful and energetic 3-year-old girl, she loves to dance and have fantastic adventures playing with her best friends Elmo and Telly.

EDITOR'S OPINION

Fran Brill played Zoe from her introduction in 1993 up until 2015. In fact, Fran even came up with her name. She gives Zoe a distinct scratchy voice that's still full of passion and exuberance.

Jennifer Barnhart took over in 2016, so this is another of those cases where the replacement is recent enough that there's plenty of time to grow into the role over the long-term. Basically with a little push toward a slightly more immature register I think we're there.
